Raeger and Bush of Hollywood Play Best Match
The V. S. C. and Hollywood Junior collegc tennis teams played to a 3-3 tie last Saturday on the Hollywood courts. The Trojans captured the first three singles matches, losing one singles match and both doubles matches. The best and most closely contested match was the doubles match between Godshall and Sindorf of U. S. C. and Raeger and Bush of the Junior college, the latter team winning only after three sets of very spectacular tennis. In this match the Trojans started off w’ell by winning thc first set, and running the score of the second set up to within one game of carrying off the honors. Here their opponents staged a steady up-hill come-back, winning that set and the
campus and on the new bleachers by W. Irwin Thomson, of the engineering department.
By the way, what wras Benjamin doing with a skeleton key in thc days when all doors had latch strings, which were always out. Perhaps, alas, his wife used to lock the door if he didn’t "get in by nine o’clock."
The new' lamps are expected to throw a very brilliant light, although after the last election I don’t put much stock in anything Edison says. Green things are expected to grow luxuriantly and abundantly. The aplication of these two adverbs is at once apparent. Luxuriantly applies to grass, which grow’s in stature; whereas abundantly refers to freshman caps, which grow in number.
When the sun is shining sunnily, freshmen are particularly vigilant about wearing their caps, perhaps through fear of the traditions committee. In proof of this statement, it may be remarked that the caps are so faded that even the discerning editor of the “Trojan” can’t see that they are green. In fact, he can’t see them
final set. match
The second doubles team, Stannard and Nathan, lost a very poorly played match to Rimpau and Newland of Hollywood. Neither team played the brand of tennis of w'hich they were capable, however, the U. S. C. boys were much the worse of the two teams in point of steadyiness, excelling only in occasional brilliant shots.
Godshall, playing first singles, disposed of his by no means unworthy rival, Raeger, in two sets of unbeatable tennis. Sindorf played the much-touted Bush off his feet in two fast sets. The quickest match of the day
was between Stannard and Rimpau, I -

at all. Brilliant seniors, with the wisdom of their years, have said, or ought to have said, that this would not have been the case had the caps been worn in the dark and not in the sunshine. And the "frosh,” it is hoped, will now wear their caps at night, because it’s bright without.
One of the new lamps will be so located that its light will shine through the tunnel under the building. Others will be placed near the new bleachers, and wires will be run into the new stadium in order to provide the necessary current in case students wish a light on the field for student activities.
Light on the athletic grounds (make note of the many convenient synonyms for Bovard field) will be particularly useful during the pajamarino, when freshmen experience so much difficulty securing wood for the bonfire that they can’t provide a good light. The lamps will provide so much light that pajamas will look decidedly out of place, although Tungstens do not provide any appreciable warmth. But Thompson has installed sufficient wires to provide current for a number of electric heaters. Perhaps some Trojan endowed with "intellectual ability,” in the words of Bumsego Popinjay, the sculptor, will consider renting electric heaters at a nominal charge if freshment will make known their willingness to refuse to make a bonfire.

The regular track season in Southern California will open with a grand splurge next Saturday afternoon on Bovard field when the A. A. U. will stage its annual relay carnival.
This meet will mark the first appearance of the Trojan varsity for this season. The fact that Occidental and Pomona colleges will enter full teams, as well as all of thc larger high schools in the south, will give the dopesters a good chance to sec just how the Trojan track squad is going to make good this year.
After holding a little informal meet last Saturday afternoon on Bovard field, Coach Cromwell has picked his teams for the meet, stating that the line-ups look fairly strong and that the boys should win.
In the four-man two-mile relay, the team will be headed by Captain I “Buck” Beebe. Noel George, Reid Crippen and “Shorty” Miller arc the boys back from last year to be entered. while Harold Cook and Gwynn Wilson are entered from the fresh-I man class.
